Excerpt

The majority of liver surgery worldwide continues to be performed open, as laparoscopic hepatectomy is technically challenging with a steep learning curve.¹Robotic technology overcomes many of the technical limitations of laparoscopy and improves the ability of hepatobiliary surgeons to safely perform minimally invasive hepatectomy, particularly major hepatectomy.²^–⁴ However, robotic hepatectomy has not been widely applied worldwide and is limited to centers with extensive experience in minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery. The objective of this study was to determine the safety profile and cost-effectiveness of robotic hepatectomy when compared with traditional open hepatectomy. …
